If you've ever wondered what Maui must have been like in the 50s, with the old plantation system starting to collapse, tourism on the horizon, post-war integration of our Nisei family and statehood imminent, then, do not miss "Ainakea," a superb drama by local playwright James Nevius.

Only three more performances at lao Theatre this weekend.
